And so looking at the capital cities, Sydney recorded 57.7%, its strongest result in 18 weeks.
Melbourne, it's not bad.
Melbourne came in at 58.2%.
Brisbane, really interesting, though, much weaker at just 24.8%.
Uh clearance rates below 60%, typically point two falling prices.
Uh and national home values are
Already down 3.6% from their March peak with Sydney down 7.1%.
We're seeing, of course, NAB, Deutsche Bank, UBS all now forecasting another RBA rate hike on the 29th of September.
And NAB is forecasting a peak trough fall in capital city home prices of around 7%, which Sydney is kind of already there.
And it's actually some of the basics driving it.
